How to Perform Hajj?

Pilgrimage is defined as a language of intent. Pilgrimage is defined as the intention of the Sacred House to perform specific acts, or to visit a specific place, at a specific time, to perform a specific work.  It is worth mentioning that the pilgrimage is one of the best works in Islam. Hajj was imposed on Muslims in the ninth year of the Hijra.

 

The Hajj pilgrimage is the "fifth pillar" of the Islamic faith, a ritual that all Muslims must perform, if it is financially viable, at least once in a lifetime. That can be translated as a pilgrimage or "intend to make the journey". Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam that guide the lives of Muslims, those subjected to Allah. That is, the only God.

​

If a person intends to perform Hajj on behalf of someone who cannot do it due to illness, or because he has died, how should rituals be done? He should choose Hajj Tamattu (in which he enters the ihram for the umrah and after the umrah leaves the ihram and performs a new ihram for the Hajj), or the al-Ifraad (in which one only performs the Hajj).

 

Praise Be to Allah:

 

He who is performing Hajj on behalf of another person must say at the time of dressing the Ihram "Labbayka‘a fulaan (Labbayka on behalf of this or that person). He must perform Tamattu ’because he is the best of the rituals.  Each person who is committed to another must do their best unless the person who sends him has chosen something else, because he is his trusted person and is obliged to do his best.

 

The Meaning of This Form of Worship: 

 

Every Muslim, especially young people, must reflect, analyse and meditate on the general and particular meaning of Hajj. So, the great responsibility they carry on their shoulders is generated. They must be the emissaries of this religion. They must show it to the world as it is with its example and conduct.

 

To Perform the Rituals of Hajj, The Following Steps Must Be Followed:

 

  1. Ihraam: If Muslim wants to do Hajj, he should start ihraam.

  2. Exit to Mina: After that, the pilgrim comes out to Mina, and performs Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha palaces without gathering, as the Messenger of Allaah did.

  3. Standing in Arafah: The departure from Mina towards Arafat is on the morning of the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah, and it is enacted to go down in Nimrah until the demise.

 

If this is not possible, then it is permissible to go to Arafa directly. And mentioning, and reading the Quran humbled and evoke the greatness of God Almighty. Are you first timer for pilgrimage? You should go with tour operators who can organise all the things with guide. Just you have to book Hajj packages for the same.
